Great job!

Thanks y'all

It is going pretty well. Think Julie and I willl have to get a bigger house before we have room for a bigger tank! Only problems are the electric bill, the maintaince time, the green slime problem and the flatworms. Do you think that a copperband butterfly would do well in here?

What? Time for a bigger tank? What's up with that... don't you guys ever stop! (Pretty soon 360 gallons is going to be considered a nano... )
I tell peopl proudly of my 60 gal (big for me) and they all laugh and say that I'll soon be looking for a bigger... I can't afford a bigger tank! There would be way too much room for all the corals that I want! At least with a 60 I am limited in space and that keeps me with in my budget (Ok maybe not but sorta )

I think they call that an indoor swimming pool... hmm now that gives me an idea! Has anyone considered setting up an indoor pool as a large reef? I know you would have to change the lining or repaint or whatever, but wow, wouldn't that be cool!
